The Key Essentials of a Successful Practice

Some dental practices thrive year after year with a limited amount of stress.
Others struggle with day to day patient management, budget and overhead
control, and most of all... personnel issues.
This lively session outlines what Miles Global finds as a common thread among their top clients who have the finest care along with a happy, productive work environment. But most of all, they also have a healthy bottom line.
Follow these five easy steps to success. It's great to go home "happy tired" verses "stressed out tired".
Attendees will learn:
- How to attain clinical excellence through comprehensive treatment planning: What are the 7 stages oftreatment planning and why are they so important?
- How to attract and retain the ideal dental team
- What are the 4 best tips in scheduling?
- Conceptualize key elements to effective communication: verbal skills that will move your practice to the next level
- Learn the systems of a successful practice, including hygiene department effectiveness, patient reactivation, collection protocol and insurance management
Presentation Lengths Available: Half and Full Day
Very informative topics.
Communication and Teamwork

There are two critical areas of management in the dental practice, that determine the daily stress level and the efficiency of the practice management systems. Both of these "management-must-haves" will be enthusiastically outlined in this lecture.
COMMUNICATION from front to back, back to front, doctor to team, team to doctor and all to patients must be effective and congruent. This vital part of daily communication will be presented in an easy to understand format based on Linda Miles' 1000 plus client consultations. Take-to-the-office-and-use-on-Monday tips will bring immediate and positive results. No more will the dentist shudder wondering how the important communication is handled from one team member to another and to all patients.
TEAMWORK means different things to different people. When teamwork is present, the office runs smoothly. When teamwork is missing, the days seem longer and much more stressful. This lively afternoon outlines the importance of a positive attitude, accountability and leadership at all levels. Many dentists and team members say they are burned out...BUT... until they "catch on fire" for dentistry, how can they burn out? In many practices, burnout is a cop-out for a lack of teamwork.
Attendees will learn:
- How to pass the patient from one person to the next with proper communication at each phase of the patient's visit
- How to improve case acceptance and which words or phrases NOT to use
- How to do fee rebuttals. Patients accept the fees when the dentist and team do
- The "hows" and "whys" of staff meetings and chart audits, and turning good ideas into finished projects
- The three TRUE values of a dental employee to their dentist employer
- How vision and accountability go hand in hand
Presentation Lengths Available: Full and Half Day
Excellent eye-opening information!
Customer/Patient Service at Its Best

Explore the roles of leadership and teamwork with a focus on your patient. Create an environment that earns the trust and respect of your patients by having their interests first and foremost in your mind.
Case acceptance, proper scheduling and time management improve when we have the proper systems in place.
Attendees will learn:
- How to lead patients to their success
- How to establish and keep the trust and respect of your patients
- How to decrease broken appointments, last minute cancellations, and the need to reschedule
Presentation Lengths Available: Full and Half Day
Fantastic presentation! You are inspiring! Thank you.
What Women Want

Women influence 85% of all health care decisions.
Understanding the huge differences in male and female health issues is one way to internally market your practice to women. Not only do women communicate differently than men, but they also have a much higher prevalence of autoimmune and hormonally related diseases, plus other concerns.
By focusing on the needs of women in your practice, you will exceed the needs, wants and desires of the entire family! Women are loyal patients who will market your practice for you. Come and learn how to have more new patients than you will ever need for your practice success! This dynamic presentation will benefit both the staff and the doctor.
Attendees will learn:
- An overview of health issues facing women
- The latest on osteoporosis and eating disorders
- The latest trends in esthetic dental procedure for older adults
- Nutrition issues for women
- Image: the doctors, the team, the facility
- "Don't think pink": generational and cultural marketing to women
- Communicating with women: How can you improve your treatment plan presentations?
Presentation Lengths Available: Half and Full Day
Great speaking skills! I enjoyed the course a lot.
Are You Keeping Up with the Times?

Great advances in technology have been seen in the 21st century!
But while patients appreciate our investment in the latest and greatest, what they really want is a relationship.
Dynamic communication skills can propel every practice to exceptional levels. Designed for the doctors and staff, this fast paced class provides attendees with information they can take back to their practice and implement immediately.
Attendees will learn:
- An update on the latest marketing strategies
- Listen your way to patient satisfaction
- Build patient trust and rapport
- Project the desired image
- Become obsessed with customer service
- What do your patients say about you?
- Technological advancements and the team process
- Incorporating comprehensive cases into your practice
Presentation Lengths Available: Half day only
I wish I had brought my entire staff!
It's A Jungle Out There!

Don't be eaten alive! How to be a leader in your business and survive!
Having a "Bear of a time" with scheduling new business? Broken appointments and last minute cancellations and unmet sales expectations "driving you wild"?

Attend this course and leave with a fresh new outlook. Strong leadership develops "owner-mentality" versus "unionized thinking": A much better way to succeed in business.
With 12 years as a volunteer zoo dentist, 4 years as an assistant, 2 years at the front desk and nearly 17 years in private practice, let Dr. Savage entertain and motivate your team to the next level! This fast paced, entertaining presentation is full of "meat and potatoes" to advance your practice.
